A Portrait of a Graduate at The Episcopal Academy

About this episode

The episode explores the qualities and skills that define graduates of The Episcopal Academy through discussions with project leaders.

The question of what kind of person is launched into the world after an Episcopal Academy education is the focus of an initiative underway called A Portrait of a Graduate. It's a shared vision, a North Star of sorts, of the kinds of qualities, skills, and mindsets that alumni keep with them after graduation and throughout their lives. Host Dr. T.J. Locke talks with leaders of the project to hear more about the specifics of their early findings on what makes an EA education so special and impactful. Guests: Chris Torino/Assistant Head of School Kelly Edwards/Academic Dean Chris McCreary/Upper School English Teacher Christele Furey/Upper School French Teacher Caroline Graham/Upper School Counselor Kempley Bryant/Kindergarten Teacher
